I hope you're well and will try to catch up over the weekend.<BR/><BR/>CreekHiker, I hope the Kadi-cough didn't aggravate your post-pneumonia self.<BR/><BR/>Helen, you've done a wonderful job of keeping up with your blog in spite of sickness. My only excuses are "too hot" and "too lazy."<BR/><BR/>Maxngabbie, Kadi is slapping you a high five.<BR/><BR/>Yajeev, it sounds like Watson has carved himself out a little doggy suite in the middle of your new apartment. Don't be surprised if he calls in a decorator.<BR/><BR/>Janet, I can see why riding a bike with the traffic flow would be scary if you couldn't hear the vehicles around you. I don't like traffic surprises of any kind.<BR/><BR/>Val, I fall asleep in front of the TV way too often. I'd blame it on age, but I'm not sure I can. When I was a teenager, I fell asleep every single time a date took me to a drive-in movie. Life of the party, that's me.<BR/><BR/>Duly Inspired, now that you've seen Butch's actual size, I'm sure you can understand why the vet is having a hard time dealing with those pesky anal sacs.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-4211729562279450462008-07-15T16:01:00.000-05:002008-07-15T16:01:00.000-05:00I love what an opportunist Kadi is!

Also, I can't even sit in a chair to enjoy a TV program without falling asleep. I remind myself of the grandpa on the Rugrats show....always sleeping as soon as his butt hits the chair. So many things I scoffed at...now I'm doing them.Golden To Silver Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04585559845728927540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-1962657371666488252008-07-14T18:00:00.000-05:002008-07-14T18:00:00.000-05:00aww, Kadi is so cute! and I didn't know Butch shra...aww, Kadi is so cute! and I didn't know Butch shrank. Maybe he's had too many baths? Love all the photos!<BR/><BR/>Being deaf, I'd prefer to ride against the traffic-if I rode a bike, which I haven't done in many years. I've ridden with the traffic and yes. it's scary for me to not hear a car approaching and then having it whiz by inches from me. I liked it better when I was a kid, when we could ride on the sidewalks. But now the law says you can't do that. Probably too many idiots were sideswiping pedestrians. So until I live in a rural area, I won't be riding a bike anytime soon-except my stationary bike in the basement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-43165094202671443112008-07-14T10:29:00.000-05:002008-07-14T10:29:00.000-05:00Watson prefers a basket of dirty laundry as his do...Watson prefers a basket of dirty laundry as his doggy bed.<BR/><BR/>Usually when we leave him at home, we shut him in our bedroom, and, as far as I can tell, he pretty much spends the time sleeping/waiting on the foot of the bed. Since we've moved to a new apartment in a new city (with new city noises), he's spent a lot more time in the laundry basket while we're away. He's also found a new apparently safe place: my closet. My new closet has an absurdly low rack on which to hang my clothes, such that the bottoms of my shirts are just two or three inches above the floor. I've got all of my shoes in the closet, so that the entire floor space of the closet is covered with shoe. I'm not entire sure why this seems inviting to Watson, but sometimes we'll come home and not be able to see him anywhere in the room... then we'll see his little black nose poking out from above my shiny black shoes. He sort of slinks out, does his doggy stretches and resumes play mode now that we're home. I should try to snap a few pics of his emergence from the closet and post them to the blog.yajeevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723977659004457064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-32935942688083453732008-07-14T08:52:00.000-05:002008-07-14T08:52:00.000-05:00I'm with Kadi.

And with the clothes basket, only Sweetie waits until I have my clean laundry in mine, usually something BLACK, and then sheds her little white hairs. FUN! I finally learned to quit leaving a basket on the floor, but she'll do it every time. She's not that big though. LOL. Hope you have a good week.Robbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663210786298674312noreply@blogger.com
